Defeat is a painful thing, especially since Manchester City have rarely lost this season, and now losing one is still a big blow to the morale of the whole team, although the team still has a four-point advantage, this defeat is still very frustrating.

So on the way back to Manchester, everyone was a little depressed.

But after returning, there is something even more frustrating waiting for them, and that is the reports from various media outlets.

The media has no sympathy and pity for Manchester City, and perhaps it is also because Manchester City's results are so good that many neutral media outlets are more inclined to Chelsea, although Chelsea is not likeable, but who makes them have fewer points than Manchester City? Most people are sympathetic to the underdogs, and Chelsea are by no means underdogs, but they are in a losing position in the league competition with Manchester City.

As a result, many media began to analyze the possibility of Chelsea catching up with Manchester City and recently making a push to win the title at the end of the season.

Of course, they also had to analyse the causes and consequences of Manchester City's failure.

"Why did Manchester City lose to Tottenham Hotspur? Quite simply, because they were so careless, they felt like they were number one in the league and there was no reason to lose to Tottenham, so they lost. ”

'Before the Tottenham game, a lot of people were talking about whether Manchester City could win the title early, and from then on, City's mind was not on the game.

'It's no surprise that Manchester City lost to Tottenham, it's a consequence they have to live with if they were careless. There are no weak teams in the Premier League, and Manchester City are still a long way from dominating the Premier League."

'In the other game at the same time, Chelsea beat West Ham 4-1, they are completely different from Manchester City, they are more serious about their opponents, they will work hard for their title hopes, so they still have a chance!'

"Four points is not an absolute difference. There are 5 rounds left in the league and anything is possible"

“”

When the whole Manchester City team returned to Manchester, they were greeted by an overwhelming amount of media criticism, as if they had been overtaken by Chelsea and directly lost the possibility of winning the title.

At this time, the team has just returned, and what the media says. They only read a few words and didn't notice it, but they didn't need to pay attention to it at all, and the media reporters would remind them.

When Wan Sheng led the team out of the bus, several reporters came over, and then a reporter asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Wan Sheng, someone thinks your team lost the game." It's because you always think about the championship but don't pay attention to the carelessness of your opponent, what do you think about this? ”

Wan Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Always thinking about the championship and not paying attention to the opponent? If it had been possible before, but the team did well in the game, he was sure that the whole team, including himself, was not careless at all!

The defeat was an accident.

So Wan Sheng looked at the reporter very seriously and said seriously, "I'm sure the whole team is working hard." I dare say we did well, but there are always surprises in football. No one can guarantee victory in every game. ”

Another reporter stepped forward and asked, "What do you think of the Daily Mirror's commentary today that Chelsea have a good chance of catching up with Manchester City in the penultimate round of points?" "The Daily Mirror, as the leader of Manchester City's hostile media, is still very influential in the industry.

But Wan Sheng didn't pay attention to it at all. Just walked and said, "You said the Daily Mirror? Haha," he said, spreading his hands, shrugging his shoulders, and nonchalantly, "I never give interviews to that media." What they say, I don't care at all! ”

After saying that, Wan Sheng walked away with a smile.

The Daily Mirror? What kind of media is that, if they have to care about what they say, he won't have to do anything else for a day!

After being interviewed by media reporters, Wan Sheng felt that the team really needed to pay more attention to the game.

Losing the game was indeed a surprise, no one expected Tottenham Hotspur to perform so well, but if the team pays more attention to the game and performs better in the game, it will also stifle the possibility of accidents as much as possible.

That's what Wansheng needs to do.

He's going to get the whole team ready and keep the players in shape so they can be the best in the game.

The media reports were a reminder to everyone in the team.

They don't win the league 100 per cent, there are five rounds left in the league and they have to deal with it seriously

Although Wan Sheng didn't think it was an unacceptable thing to lose a game, and he was very calm in front of media reporters, the outside world didn't believe it at all, and after reading their reports, it seemed that Manchester City was close to the end.

All kinds of public opinion reports believe that Chelsea's opportunity has come!

"Manchester City will make another mistake, their next game is West Ham United, and Aston Villa, and then there is a game against Arsenal, and then there is a game against Arsenal, and it is certain that they will lose three points" said in that tone, as if Manchester City were bound to lose to Arsenal.

The Daily Mirror put it more bluntly, "Chelsea have a big chance, and the opportunity is still in their hands!" As long as they can win all five rounds, they will be able to win the league title! ”

Some neutral media are still more conservative, but they are not good for Manchester City, "The league title competition is at its hottest, we can expect Chelsea to continue to catch up with Manchester City, and in half a month, we can see the results in advance!" ”

Wan Sheng could only smile bitterly when he looked at these reports.

He didn't expect that losing a game would have such a big impact, even if he clarified in front of reporters and sprayed the "Daily Mirror" to attract firepower, it didn't have any effect at all.

Is it really just a loss of one game, as if Manchester City were going to lose the league title?

But the media is good at making a big fuss, or on the one hand, it also shows that Manchester City is different from before, the previous Manchester City was only a Premier League powerhouse, even if the points were at the top, but it still made most people feel that there was no hope of winning the championship, and at the end of the league, Manchester City suddenly became the most promising team to win the championship, so they became the focus of all Premier League fans in England, Europe, and the world.

Manchester City are already at the centre of the maelstrom and they must be bombarded with the media.

This is what we must face in the future.

In fact, Chelsea have been the favourites all season. So when something happens to Chelsea, or what Mourinho says, it can suddenly become a hot topic, causing countless people to discuss, and the arguments are good and sweet, in short, the remarks are very hot.

Now it's City's turn.

They stole the limelight from Chelsea. With more points than Chelsea, more than Chelsea to win the title, the focus has become on them.

When Manchester City lost a game, a group of media outlets immediately came out to blame.

Of course, there are still many reports that worry about Manchester City or analyze Manchester City's hopes of winning the title, but in the wave of criticism of the loss, these reports really can't make waves

On April 15, the 34th round of the Premier League began, and Manchester City challenged West Ham United away.

Before the game. In the away team's locker room, everyone gathered around, Wan Sheng stood in the middle, looking at everyone seriously, he wanted to make the final advice.

"The last round, I think, was a lesson for each of us. The media are saying that we are not 100 per cent sure that we will win the championship yet. It even said that Chelsea have a good chance of catching up with us'

These words made the players' expressions much more solemn.

Recent times. There's a lot of talk about the title, and for most of City's players, the league title is something they couldn't have imagined before, but now it's in front of them, so they can't help but talk about it.

When everyone is talking, it is natural that they cannot do without media reports. Many people are angry at the voices of the outside world.

Now hearing Wan Sheng say this, everyone wants to know what the coach thinks.

Wan Sheng stared into everyone's eyes and said seriously, "Some of what the media said is right. At least we really didn't win the league 100 per cent, 4 points? Is it a lot? Two balls only! Now there are 5 games left in the league."

"I dare say that the last round loss was an accident, but will this round of accidents happen?"

Wan Sheng stretched out his hand, pointed at everyone hard, and yelled, "Now, you guys, tell me! ”

"No!"

"Of course not!"

"We're going to win!" All the players blushed and roared!

Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't show a smile, but pointed to the door solemnly and said, "I heard your voice, so now, go to the stadium to prove it!" ”

Immediately after everyone rushed out of the door.

Wan Sheng walked at the end, looking at the figures of the players, and also relieved his heart, he was inspiring everyone to play seriously, this is not a common means, but it is very effective, at least now many people's fighting spirit has improved.

They are angry at the media coverage, and if they are provoked by themselves, they will naturally give their best in the game.

The team was well prepared, the whole team was in good shape, and there was a lot of fighting spirit for the game, and if there was a 'surprise' in that case, then he should really go and pray to God after the game - even though he never believed that man existed

The game against West Ham came as no surprise, with City starting the game with a full press and scoring on 18 minutes.

After that goal, West Ham thought of attacking, but City didn't give them a chance at all, using the overwhelming advantage of both tactics and strength, and just five minutes later, Anelka helped Manchester City to score again.

It was also Anelka's third goal for Manchester City since his return.

After the goal, many media outlets who did not support Manchester City had to applaud Anelka because his performance was so good, and despite City's defeat in the last round, Anelka was the bright spot for Manchester City, and he received a lot of praise.

After taking a two-goal lead, City continued to attack.

West Ham have little to do against Manchester City's attack, and although they are playing at home, they can only defend passively from behind.

In the 48th and 81st minutes of the game, Morris and Joey Barton scored goals each for Manchester City, and finally the score was fixed at 0:4, and Manchester City won away from home.

The game silenced a lot of the media.

They had previously reported on Manchester City's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur and commented that Manchester City was likely to lose the league title, but Manchester City's performance in this game really slapped them in the face.

They were dizzy and could only send two words of praise against their will.

After the game, Wan Sheng was also very happy and praised the performance of West Ham United, but after the 0:4 loss, these words were regarded as a sarcasm for West Ham United, and the head coach Pardue was held back with nothing to say.

Fortunately, West Ham's results are actually not bad, they are now 10th in the league, and there is no pressure of relegation at all.

The remaining rounds of the league are just chicken ribs for them, and it doesn't matter if they lose one, so West Ham have little pressure to lose.

After the game, there was a lot less commentary on Manchester City's triumph.

At this awkward stage for Manchester City's hostile media, another big piece of news has caught everyone's attention, and that is England manager Christian Eriksen has announced a new round of squad, which, if nothing else, represents England's squad for the World Cup.

Related to Manchester City is the inclusion of Morris and David James, which means that the two appeared in the 2006 World Cup and played for England.

It is no surprise that David James has been selected for the England team, and the change brought about by 10,000 wins is Morris.

Without him, Morris would certainly not have been selected for the England team, and now Morris has become the talk of the England team.

In midfield, Morris is arguably only below Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, and is England's number three in the middle of the midfield, but due to the much-criticised combination of Lampard and Steven Gerrard, the number three is likely to be in the starting line-up for many games.

However, Wansheng was not satisfied with this, because except for Morris, no one else was selected.

Chances like Lescott, Ivan Crewe, Joey Barton and Darren Bent all have a chance.

Ivan Crewe was not selected in the past, after all, he played for Derby County in the first half of the schedule and did not perform very well; There are still a lot of opportunities for Lescott and Joey Barton, both of whom are considered fringe players in the England team, but none of them have been selected, which is a bit excessive; Darren Bent is a new player in the top flight, but he is young and has performed quite well, and in the England team, where there are few strikers, Darren Bent is definitely at the top of the list, but Eriksen doesn't seem to have considered him at all.

'He's not even willing to put an Arsenal youth guy in the squad and doesn't want to think about Bent. Wan Sheng said in front of reporters, "Cultivating young people? Haha"

He smiled, but the disdain on his face was obvious. (To be continued.) )
